The creators of the distinguished Eyewitness series have maintained the same high standards of writing and illustration in this Eyewitness Science title. Sharp, seemingly three-dimensional photos and intricate drawings accompany skillfully distilled texts that explain complex scientific principles and issues without oversimplifying them. Focusing on contemporary and historical developments in the study of matter, this book features clear, expertly written text, color and black-and-white photos, charts, graphics, and 3-D models - all of which combine to make complex scientific concepts easy to understand.

Nature Magazine - 7 July 2011
Nature, first published on 4 November 1869, is the world's most cited interdisciplinary science journal. Most scientific journals are now highly specialized, and Nature is among the few journals (the other weekly journals Science and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences are also prominent examples) that still publish original research articles across a wide range of scientific fields. There are many fields of scientific research in which important new advances and original research are published as either articles or letters in Nature.
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, located in the western suburbs of Chicago, has stood at the frontier of high-energy physics for nearly forty years. Since 1972, when the laboratory’s original particle accelerator began producing the world’s highest-energy protons for research, the government-supported scientific facility has been home to numerous scientific breakthroughs, including the discoveries of the top and bottom quarks.
